How to stay updated on MCI Concord redevelopment: websites, meetings, and alerts

Start with the official MCI Concord project website. The Town points people here for the most current public-facing information about the redevelopment effort, which focuses on repurposing the 83-acre former correctional facility site that closed in June 2024.

Then bookmark the Town's MCI Concord Advisory Board page. Think of it as your paper trail. Meeting materials get posted here over time, including agendas (published in advance) and minutes (posted after Board approval). If you want to see what's coming up or review what was discussed and decided, this is the page to check.

Want to know what's on the table before a meeting? Look for the agenda first. Agendas for the MCI Concord Advisory Board are posted in advance, so you can preview the topics and decide whether to attend or listen in.

For the official record after a meeting, check the approved minutes. Minutes from MCI Concord Advisory Board meetings are posted once the Board approves them, so expect a delay between the meeting date and when the write-up appears.

Meetings are typically held on Mondays at Noon, at the Town House (22 Monument Square) in the Select Board Meeting Room, and via Zoom. Knowing that regular cadence makes it easier to plan ahead and watch for the next agenda.

1. Open Concord GIS and find the Abutters List App - This is the Town tool designed to create, save, and print abutter lists and mailing labels.
2. Run an address search - Search for the specific address you’re researching so you’re working from the correct parcel/location.
3. Create your abutters list - Use the app’s abutters function to generate the list based on the area tied to your search.
4. Save your work - If you plan to come back to the same area later, save the list so you don’t have to rebuild it.
5. Print or export mailing labels - When you need a hard copy or labels for outreach, use the app’s print options for abutter lists and mailing labels.

Need infrastructure details at the address level? Concord GIS also offers a Broadband Availability App. Search for an address and you'll see whether Concord Light municipal broadband service is available there.

For broader mapping beyond Town tools, MassGIS is worth a look. It provides many map layers (roads, wetlands, aerial photos, property parcels, and more) that you can combine using the MassMapper interactive mapping tool to build a custom map for any area in the state.
